Absolutely.  It's as close to an "official" KDE development book as there 
could be.  The majority of the book was written by David Sweet, a long-time 
KDE developer.  All of the non-standard chapters, though, were written by the 
KDE gurus.  For instance, the KParts chapter was written by David Faure, the 
author (and current maintainer) of KParts.  The aRts chapter was handled by 
Stefan Westerfield (author and maintainer).  DCOP by Cristian Tiberna 
(current maintainer).  Basically, these chapters were written by the authors 
because there wasn't very much documentation on those technologies until 
then.  Since the book is Open Content, we are using those chapters as the 
official docs.
